EBP Narrated Powerpoint

Published

As part of an EBP project I am required to give a narrated powerpoint presentation - 11 slides max. This is my first class in an RN-BSN program after 21 years. I have never done a powerpoint presentation in my life! I welcome all advice! Thanks in advance!:)

Thank you! I appreciate your help!:)

Keep your slides uncluttered-- don't put everything you're going to say on them, because then you're just reading your slides and it will make people crazy. Think of them as an outline.

One or two ideas per slide

Avoid fancy curlicue fonts

An illustration or graph breaks things up, if your topic could benefit by it

Practice giving your talk to your cat, or your Boston fern, until you are able to do it without looking at notes. If you have a time limit, set a timer while you do this, and see how it works out. Then do it for a live person, and take their critique to heart.

Have some fun with it. Part of the reason for this assignment is to get you into the mindset of being a teacher, because nurses have to teach all the time.

Google How to Avoid Death by PPT. It is a 20 minute video that will explain what to never do with a presentation. Have fun with it, PPTs are a good way to show your knowledge and creativity.
